Getting redirected to ps4ux then india-zed.com when clicking at links

Q:Getting redirected to ps4ux then india-zed.com when clicking at links

Like the title said, when I clicked at a link, Chrome would sometimes open up a new tab, contents being the page I clicked the link at, while the old one turned into ps4ux then india-zed.com. And when I clicked a link on Google, I would always open a new tab, with the old tab sometimes staying as it is or turning into ps4ux. Doesn't happen if I clicked a link right when the page still loads though.

Using Chrome at Windows 7 64-bit. Already tried cleaning with Malwarebytes and Hitmanpro to no avail. They detected a bunch of things but the problem is still not fixed. Tried the Junkware Removal by Malwarebytes but it keeps saying Permission Denied even though I've run it with admin rights. Dunno if the scan is successful.

I have no idea where I got this malware. I didn't download anything shady. It just came out a few days back out of nowhere.

It seems blocking all third party cookies solve the problem temporarily. There are these two cookies that keep coming out no matter what the website is, titled connectionstrenth.com and urlvalidation.com. And I notice whereever the malware is active, chrome will show it's blocking a pop up page and an Adobe Flash Player from activating.

Seems whenever I click on a link it doesn't go to the site that it should. This happens both on Firefox as well as Chrome browsers.

In addition, there are times when booting up the computer that it is very slow. Can take like up to 15 minutes to boot up. Sure this is an old computer, but it seems it is taking forever now. Hasn't been that long in the past. Also have seen chkdsk being run as well during the boot process.

A:Clicking on links get redirected

Also while in Chrome and Firefox browsers. the URL addresses display look very suspicious (ie. 2008.www.(web site).com)

Plus the computer doesn't close down properly...wheels spinning when shutting down at the Shutting Down screen.

EDIT: It is the same problem with google, that many are having. Looking for specific instructions as i obviously don't want to screw it up.Well i don't what is wrong at all, what has been happening is that in the past 2 weeks or so, every time i click on (most specifically) a google link, it will redirect me to a new page. How i get around this is to either open in a new tab, or to refresh the google search page and then click on the link. I thought it was just a google error at first, but after reading this thread: http://forums.techguy.org/virus-other-malware-removal/587195-solved-google-links-redirect-many.htm I'm now thinking that i may be infected with something.

Ran an AVG Complete Computer Scan, and as with most people, no virus's were found.

This happens both with IE and Firefox

More Details about the bug:

Here's a list of things that happen:

Google Link error- when clicking on a google link, occasionally it will redirect me to something with the name along the lines of results5.google

When clicking on a link of off google, occasionally it will redirect me to a page that doesn't load (example: Youtube.com, will go to it, then very quickly go to another page called Youtube.com, but it won't load)

When using IE a link will be redirected AND opened in a new window.

Youtube specifically, i can't get to youtube at all, even typing it in in the browser URL. The way to get to it is to search say (Youtube (video name) o... Read more

Hi,I've been having a problem for about the past week or two that wheneve I click a link it will redirect me to a random webpage that I did not intend to go to or it will open Google or Yahoo! in another window. I googled the problem and it referred me to HijakThis, which then redirected me to this forum. I hope that you can help me to get rid of this problem, as I am not very technologically advanced and as I have also seen that the outlooks for some of the others on this forum with the same problem have been rather bleak. Anyway, here is the log info from the HijackThis scan:Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.4Scan saved at 2:34:55 AM, on 6/22/2010Platform: Windows XP SP2 (WinNT 5.01.2600)MSIE: Internet Explorer v8.00 (8.00.6001.18702)Boot mode: NormalRunning processes:C:\WINDOWS\System32\smss.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\lsass.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exeC:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\spoolsv.exeC:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\AppleMobileDeviceService.exeC:\Program Files\Bonjour\mDNSResponder.exeC:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehRecvr.exeC:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehSched.exeC:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\jqs.exeC:\Program Files\Common Files\LightScribe\LSSrvc...

A:Redirected After Clicking Links

Also, before using HijackThis I ran a quick scan with MalwareBytes, but that did not fix the problem. It did however detect about 370 malware infections that I had it remove.

hi all,
It started when i removed avast, as avast did nothing when scanning it allways said failed , so i in installed it an got
AVG anti virus, and things got worse, I un installed avg an now use
rising anti virus and have spybot s&d free edition.
they picked up a few things but still got the problem

the last few days when searching for information in google,
and then clicking on the link i want to visit, it gets redirected to
other websites or malware sites or a msg on the site saying
"no result"
It's driving me nuts , i cant search for anything with out it redirecting me i have to copy the link an put it in the address bar manually

For the past few days now every time I click on a link that I get from the Google search engine will redirect to random other pages. Sometimes I'll get a "Warning: Your Computer Maybe Infected!" sign, though not all the time.

hi all,
It started when i removed avast, as avast did nothing when scanning,
it allways said failed PASS protected or something so i uninstalled it,
an got AVG A/virus, avg instaled an scanned an found viruses an removed them then problems came up that the virus it found were false
and things got worse, with trying to find out a way to remove this shity avg A/virus i also uninstalled AVG
an now use rising anti virus and have spybot s&d free edition.
they picked up a few things but still got the problem

searching for information in google, and then clicking on the link i want to visit, it gets redirected to other websites or malware sites or a msg on the site saying "no result" an nothing else.
It's driving me nuts.

The majority of the time when I click on a link in both IE and Firefox I am redirected to other suspicious sites, many of the sites are either generic search pages or security warning sites. I am guessing that this due to some sort of malware. I have done a Hijackthis scan and have pasted the log below. Please help me, I am not very computer security savvy. Thank you.

I've been facing the problem of Firefox redirecting my links to other websites whenever I try to open a link from Google or other sites. This has been happening quite recently (about 2 days) and I'm not sure what to do.

I've been being redirected when clicking links to google, the website that generally comes up is something called nexplore. I tried running MBAM but it wouldn't run, renamed the file to random.exe and ran it, went through fine, removed some viruses, however I'm still being redirected. I have no idea where I got this virus, if that is what it is, but any help in removing the problem would be extremely appreciated.UPDATED: With a hijack this log since I got 53 views and no help whatsoever.

Have noticed on a few sites that when I click on a link, I get redirected to the incorrect one. Of course, going back to the original site and clicking on that link does get me to the correct site. And it's not all the time. Have noticed it more so of late so I suspect I have some sort of malware on my computer.

Thus hopefully I can get this item removed since it can be quite annoying!

I am running on Windows Vista (Pro I believe, but don't hold me to that!) and used Norton as my virus checker.

Thanksthomas

A few days ago I most probably got infected with malware. Suddenly my Firefox was (and when checking also Chome and IE) showing advertisement all over the place. In addition, there appear some words in the regular text of web sites (no matter which site,also yours) that are printed bold like this "bitdefender" and when you run over it an advertisement appears. But also when I move my pointer without clicking over the topic "Forum Rules" on the site where I am typing in this post, an ad appears for a few seconds. Then, when you click on a link on a site, either a new window opens with a completely other address which is an add again or the tab you are on opens another site. When you close this you come back to the original site and sometimes you see the link you originally intended to reach or sometimes you must click again and then it goes. There are also combinations of these problems so it is getting worse from time to time. Sometimes, when you want to fill in a open field (say a search subject) or even click just on a space on a page which does not have a link at all, you are also immediately directed to a site with ads even before you have typed in one letter in the search field. That is scary when you want to enter a bank account for instance. Now, I have run Malwarebyte several times, JRT several times, HitmanPro same, bitdefender and the whole lot. I installed Adblock Plus and I also have Kaspersky anti Virus and they all find infections and repair or destroy... Read more

When I click on a google link or even a bing link my page gets redirected to places like spyware scanner and fake search engines. I know its a virus or some sort of malware/ Spyware. It only takes control on links.

If you type something in the address bar or sometimes just open it in a new tab your fine. This happens in both IE and Firefox. I am running windows 7 and I have had no other problems. I have scanned the computer with spybot and avg 9 both in safe mode and in normal mode still nothing. Here is my hijack This! log.

Whenever i click links on any websites whether it be google, facebook or indeed anything i get directed to a completely random site usually advertising some sort of product. I have no idea what this and it only came up about a week ago.

On top of that, i keep seeing iexplore.exe on my windows task manager when internet explorer is not even running at all (i use firefox). Not sure what this is either.

Hi, I have win vista sp1 and am getting redirected when I click on links in google, and I also get redirected when hitting links at websites. Today this is happening most of the time. I noticed it seemed to start yesterday, though not sure. I noticed some links bring up page not found or a blank page at a site as well. I don't know if there are other problems yet, but as soon as I noticed this keep happening today, I came here and am posting.

I ran malwarebytes full scan which came back clean. Yesterday I ran a full scan of my antivirus and that was clean.

Thank you so much for helping me. I look forward to your directions.

Thank you in advance for your help with this. I thought I would be able to clean this up myself, but no luck; no luck whatsoever...About a week ago I had 'Ransom Virus', I cleaned it up with 'SuperAntiSpyware' and 'MalwareBytes'; shortly after I noticed that my google links were going somewhere else in Explorer and then in FireFox, the same now happens with Yahoo, Bing, Etc...

Usually I am careful, but unfortunately on a slight lapse of judgement I installed a faulty program (from CNET I believe) that I think contained some sort of malware.

There are now advertisement links on random key words in website text. Also, 1/3 times I click on legitimate links (like the Sign In link on BleepingComputer) I get a new tab opening on Google Chrome to multiple advertisement sites.

I notice two different names on the text links. They are "Kontera" and "Text-Enhance".

I tried running Ad-Aware as well as Malwarebytes, but both end up freezing after about an 1H 30M into the scan.

I'm running Windows 8 x64-bit.

A:Advertisement Links in Text, New Advertisement Windows Open When Clicking Links

The double-underlined random words you are referring to is called in-text advertising and it is very common. Kontera, Text Enhance and Vibrant are are some of the more popular advertising networks that provide in-text advertising and information services.The double-underlined word is actually a keyword embedded within text of a web page. The keyword is intended to provide consumers with information that is related to what they are reading. When hovering your mouse over this keyword, a pop up ad is displayed with a preview of the ad the text links to. This process works by allowing webmasters to insert JavaScript code into web pages that displays relevant advertisements from an inventory of advertisers. This script scans a web page and dynamically modifies keywords an advertiser has targeted on the page and double-underlines them. The words and the double-lines under them are usually blue in color but it is not uncommon for them to appear in various other colors such as red or green. In-text advertising is a form of contextual advertising commonly used to promote business and generate revenue to offset the cost of maintaining a web site each time a website visitor clicks on an in-text ad. Advertisements from in-text ads also help to generate targeted traffic to a website and improve their natural search engine ranking.Delivering ads to users based on their preferences. Adware programs analyze a user's Web surfing habits to determine the type of merchandise they are likely to ... Read more

I had a problem with something called adyieldmanager just before christmas. I managed to get rid of that but ma now having problems with getting redirected when i click a link. It may be connected with the adyieldmanager problem or not.

What happens is that I search within google and then click one of the links. this then redirects to a different page than the one i wanted. When i click back and then click the link again it normally takes me to the correct link. Sometimes it redirects to one page and then another.

I have run a complete scan with Lavasoft adaware and also with spybot. I have also run CC Cleaner. The problem occurs in Firefox and Internet Explorer.

* IMPORTANT - Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools. If you have difficulty properly disabling your protective programs, refer to this link here Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed.

Get a quality local non-AOHell ISP. Having AOL is your problem.

You need to be running a firewall like free Sygate from http://download.com - type, sygate, in the Search box, you must be on-line to register Sygate.

***

Go to http://housecall.trendmicro.com or http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/com/activescan_principal.htm and click the Scan Now link to run a free on-line virus scan.

One easy way to cure this issue is for you to backup your email contacts for AOL, their technical support will tell you how, good luck, then uninstall all AOL entries in the Add/Remove Programs control panel then restart your computer. Back at Desktop re-install AOL.

I have Windows XP, Internet Explorer 6. When I'm no a website and click on a link, the link appears about 2" square on the screen. I drag it to enlarge, but then the next time I click on a link, it reverts back to the 2" square. What can I do? Thanks in advance.

After I enter a search on Google, I get redirected to various sites and it will not let me get to Microsoft Security Essentials (or whichever google link I try). This started before I loaded Stopzilla but now I have uninstalled it (Thanks Chesseball81) and I'm still getting redirected. Yikes!Do I need to attach the log file and if so how do I do that. Trying to work from home and can't.

anytime I click on search results from various search engines, yahoo, google, bing....I get redirected to different sites which list additional links. I have not clicked on any of the links. To actually get to the site I am looking for i have to go back and click the links again. i have read several posts about redirect viruses and they sound very much like what i have going on. i would really appreciate any help I can get.

I installed Mozilla Firefox to see if that would let me search without redirecting to this website. It still went to this alphahit.com website. This tells me that it is deeper than a browser.

Specifically I type in Google.com and it works properly. In the google search I type in any topic and press enter. It pulls up items I can click on. The problem is when I click on any of them that is when it takes me directly to alphahit.com.

I can copy the address that is at the bottom of each item and paste it into web address area and it will take me to the proper site.

Hi There I have read your post and I think it would be wise for you to post a HijackThis log for an expert to review. I bet you are wondering what HijackThis is. Well it's a program that is simply able to show others what's going on inside your computer, in terms of infection etc..I recommend you follow the HijackThis preparation guide which can be found here. It is important that you follow the guide closely. A number of scans will be run which may well fix your problem.As the guide says, after you have completed the scans that are recommended, please post your "HijackThis" log in a new topic in the forum found here. Please add your system infomation and also what problems you are having. Please wait for a few days and one of our experts will get onto fixing your computer for you. Please be aware that this new year we have been swamped so it may take a week for a reply.David

When I do a search with either internet Explorer or Firefox I get redirected when I click on any of the search results. it takes me to a different website everytime.

Regardless of which browser or search engine I use, I get redirected after clicking on the search results. Clicking on a search result takes me to a different site than the intended search result, such as Tazinga, Findstuff and Shopicana etc..
